This document outlines the Electric Drive Cooling Fan Motor Mounting interface characteristics such that a common standard is possible.

This SAE Recommended Practice is intended for use in testing and evaluating the performance of Light Duty automotive electric engine cooling fans. These Electric Cooling Fan (ECF) Assemblies are purchased by Light Duty Truck and Passenger Car OEM’s from suppliers. They are purchased as complete assemblies, consisting of the fan(s), motor(s), and shroud (see Figure 1); this Recommended Practice will only consider such complete assemblies. Some purchased assemblies using brush-type motors may also include control devices such as power resistors or pulse width modulation (PWM) electronics for speed control. In the case of brushless motor technology, the controller is an integral part of the motor where it also performs the commutation process electronically. The performance measurement would include fan output in terms of airflow and pressure, and fan input electric power in terms of voltage and current.

The testing technique outlined in this SAE Recommended Practice was developed as part of an overall program for testing and evaluating fuel consumption of heavy-duty trucks and buses. The technique outlined in this recommended practice provides a general description of the type of equipment and facility which is necessary to determine the power consumption of these engine-driven components. It is recommended that the specific operating conditions suggested be carefully reviewed on the basis of actual data obtained on the specific vehicle operation. Because of the variation in size, shape, configuration, and mountings available in cooling fans and fan drive systems, specific test devices have not been included.

The technique outlined in this SAE Recommended Practice was developed as part of an overall program for determining and evaluating fuel consumption of heavy-duty trucks and buses. It is recommended that the specific operating conditions be carefully reviewed on the basis of actual installation data. Cooling requirements are affected by all heat exchangers that are cooled by the fan-drive system. These may include radiators, condensers, charge air coolers, or oil coolers. Because of the variation in size, shape, configuration, and mountings available in cooling fans and fan-drive systems, specific test devices have not been included. Using known power/speed relationships for a given fan, this procedure can be used to calculate the fan-drive system’s power consumption for engine cooling systems using fixed-ratio, speed modulating, and on-off fan drives. This power consumption may then be used in determining engine net power per SAE J1349.

All materials classified as nylons share certain basic characteristics. However, even within the seemingly limited realm of glass fiber reinforced nylons, many levels and combinations of physical, thermal, and environmental resistance properties are available. These properties result from such factors as the following: 1 Type of nylon (6, 6/6, 6/10, 6/12, etc.) 2 Percentage (by weight) of glass fibers 3 Diameter and length of glass fibers 4 Wetting agent used to promote adhesion between resin and fibers (if present) 5 Heat stabilizer (if present) 6 Impact modifier (if present) 7 Pigmentation (if present) In order to select a material with appropriate characteristics, the prospective manufacturer and end user should investigate the proposed application thoroughly, and maintain open communication with the various material suppliers.
